Hullo there, this is my first post and I basically just came here to thank the vets.
I find that in most games, veteran players are hostile at best, downright villainous at worst. In my few hours of game time, I've yet to see an obviously veteran player berate any rooks and I think it shows in how many rookies actually start following objectives and helping win the match.
Instead of just shouting at people most of the better players take the lead and be constructive.
So hats off to you guys for making my getting into this game a significantly smoother ride!

Thanks for taking the chance on this complex game and sticking around to ride out the inevitable bumps, glitches, and balance issues. =]
Trust me, it's worth it.
I love helping newbies on the field or even in the command chair, when they let me.
Yeah, the community is great overall.
perhaps I'll stick around the forums here a bit, seems a nicer place than the eternally hateful steam user forums.
Oh and for the record, I was addicted to the AVP games when I was younger and have always wanted a solid FPS/RTS so this game is a dream come true for me.
it's quite the 2 way street, patience is needed on both sides. you've got rooks looking for help but get yelled at instead. and then there's times i try to help others but end up giving my attention to some troll who knows better or purposely does the wrong things.

Hey, welcome Azathoth. Please do stick around, we have a good community here. And I very much agree about the steam forums, they seem like a scary place.

Could not have said it better. Glad you are here, hope to see you in game.
I hope most of the NS2 players stay this way and have zero tolerance against ######baggery. Just one guy can perpetrate negativity throughout entire servers, so I'm hoping that kind of stuff will be stamped out early and often.
We got stomped, but had a blast doing it! A couple rounds later in the ready room, I heard players talking about how much fun they had that first game.
<3 Thanks for being awesome new people and asking/listening/doing your best! :D
I haven't really been in a single game yet where people get yelled at other then jokingly. It really gives new players the incentive to actually try new things and ask questions. Or take a try at comming (which I've done myself a few times now). No one minds a loss, as long as it was hard fought and effort was put into it. You can learn a lot from a loss.
Keep it up guys.
